Another plus? It is a dairy-free recipe. I think I mentioned that Hubert has a milk intolerance. No cream, no cheese, no butter, no yoghurt etc. Sounds complicated? Yes, sometimes it is a challenge, especially when we cook for guests. In the end butter and cream really enhances the flavours. But then you also realise how many dishes don´t contain any dairy products at all and how many possibilities there are. And then you can replace milk with alternative products, like soy milk or oil instead of butter.

Of course, when I want to prepare a special meal for friends or family and I know the taste would suffer if I leave out the dairy products, I prefer to prepare an alternative for Hubert. A little more work, yes, but in the end everyone is happy, including me! So whenever we have dairy-free recipes we tag them, so you can easily look it up in the search function.
